Living Room
High tea has never really been about the food—it’s all about the atmosphere. But while most hotels’ afternoon tea sets come with a major price tag, we’ve discovered an exception with the tea set at the W, which is served in their superbly comfortable Living Room lobby lounge. A wicked bar with fancy cocktails and a DJ at night, it sees warm sunlight stream through its floor-to-ceiling windows during the day. And it’s an ideal place to kick back after a hard day’s shopping around Elements. For $238 for two people, you can choose from two menus, which each feature 20 bite-sized savory and sweet canapés, and over 30 different blends of tea or coffee. The set is available daily, 2:30pm-6pm.
